TORRINGTON >> The city recently announced the 2016 Fuse Fest lineup as the summer draws near and local residents gear up for the chance to spend some time outdoors.

Ten bands will perform on two separate stages during the concert, according to a release from the city Parks and Recreation Department, which is scheduled to take place on Aug. 20 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Fuessenich Park.

“The festival crowd will be entertained by performances on two stages. The George’s Music Center and PowerStation Main Stage will showcase the following bands: Ghost of the Valley, D Smith Blues Band, Jeff Przech and the Outfit, Jeff Pitchell and Chris Tofield,” said city officials in the release. “The On Deck Sound Studio and Doyle’s Medical Home Improvements Acoustic Stage will feature singer songwriter performers by Howard Baldwin, Rev Torr, Jay Roberts, Acoustic Fish and Belle of the Fall.”

There will also be a “carnival area” at the event featuring games, rides, food and other festive trappings, officials said.

Parks and Recreation Superintendent J. Brett Simmons said the event, now in its second year, is looking like it will be a good time for local residents.

“This is lining up to be a another great event that the City of Torrington should be proud of, thanks to the hard work of several volunteers dedicating their time and resources to make this music festival happen,” said Simmons in the release. “We are also thankful for the sponsors that are stepping up to lend their support again this year!”

If rain requires the concert to be postponed, it will be held the following day, Aug. 21, according to the release. Those seeking to attend will be asked to pay a $5 admission fee.

Local businesses and organizations interested in sponsoring the event are asked to contact Simmons by calling 860-489-2385.
